C++

Question

in this code, I am trying to make override method do ı have to use virtual key ? or is it already override method?

#include<iostream>
class gun{
public:
void fire(){
std::cout<<"pi:ugt"<<std::endl;
}
};

class ak47 : public gun{
public:
void fire(){
std::cout<<"tı:u:gh"<<std::endl;
}
};

int main(){
ak47 k1;
k1.fire();

return 0;
}

Answer 1

For this specific code, you don't have to do that.

But , if you start refering ak47 as gun using gun pointer, then it won't work as expected. Have a look at this :

To fix that you have to use virtual and override :

It would be beneficial in the scenario like this, where we have multiple guns besides ak47 like this:
